we do this to egypt. and i'm sure what shibley was talking about before, this is ridiculous. there were millions of people in the streets at the end of january of 2011. every police station in alexandria had been burned down. tahrir square was occupied. we didn't make it happen. we couldn't have stopped it if we wanted to, and the recognition of that fact, i think, is really important. number one is that old idea that we can go back to simply working with friendly dictators, i think that's just gone. second, i think, which is really important is the idea that we can control the region, that in a sense the region is crying out for our leadership and that every problem in the region has to be solved by us. and i think we -- there's a healthy recognition now beat into us by the war on terror, by iraq and now by the arab uprisings that the ability of the united states to manage and control what happens in the region is quite limited. and so the combination of those two things, i think, then helps to explain a

in which egypt, turkey, iran and ideally saudi arabia are seeking some sort of solution to the crisis. perhaps that effort being done at the regional level, the u.s. exercising its strengthened diplomacy at a more global level may help to bring the syrian crisis toward a softer landing. i would just close by saying this. i think throughout the debates and the discussions around not just syria, but frankly u.s. policy more broadly on the arab transitions whether it's with respect to libya, egypt or elsewhere, there's been this constant refrain that the u.s. has been absent. and i think there's a certain truth to that. but the second piece is that, therefore, the u.s. needs to engage militarily or needs to engage its hard power, and i would argue that between that -- within that spectrum, there are two ends of the spectrum. one doing nothing, the other exerting military and hard power influence. i would argue the most powerful and effective tool and the one that's discussed but the one i think provides the greatest hope is for the u.s. to engage using soft power. and i'll leave it at th
